​The Kings County Office of Education is saddened to announce the passing of long time board member, Mr. Joe Hammond. Joe was appointed to represent Trustee Area 2, cities of Avenal and Corcoran, in August 2001, and remained an active member of the board until his passing.
The County Board depended on Joe for his candor in times of difficult matters facing the Board. It is certain that decisions he reached were made in the best interest of students.
Kings County has lost a true friend of education!
